We are so screwed…

Israel’s security branches protest Gaza crossings deal.

I really hope that this is another Debka exaggeration. But somehow, I doubt it. If the details of the deal are true, terrorists will have total access to Israel in a way that seemed impossible until now.

I’m scared.

There is no longer any barrier to Palestinian terrorists bringing shoulder-launched anti-air missiles any time to the point from which they can turn Israel’s international airport into a disaster zone and paralyze international air traffic to and from the country.

Our sources reveal that the prime minister’s office made sure the six-page accord left by Rice was not translated into Hebrew. Israeli television and radio audiences were therefore not exposed to its contents.

Israel is denied any veto power over the arrival of terrorists from Sinai to Gaza or from Gaza to the West Bank in both directions. A wanted terrorist can simply board a bus in Gaza and commute to Hebron or Ramallah without restraint. Israel officials may not stop and search it the vehicle, albeit on Israeli soil, let alone make an arrest. They can only gnash their teeth in frustration.

Equally freedom of control is promised the merchandise and container trucks.

    I agree, what is written there is frightening. I feel just a little skeptical though because I can’t imagine what would cause ANY Israeli government to simply cede all of its hard fought security advantages in such a way. It’s beyond stupid. I can’t imagine even Yossi Beilin would go along with it, as written.

    Nevertheless, it rarely pays to underestimate the capacity for political stupidity, so I’ll have to wait and see, and maybe stock up on bottled water and body armor. Hope it’s wrong.

    What frightens me most is what we don’t know about what is going on behind the scenes. Why it seems that no matter who gets into that office, and no matter what they swore they would do when they got there, the person who sits in the PM’s chair inevitably acts in ways that the average person cannot possibly understand. You are totally right to say that you can’t imagine how Sharon could give up on Israel’s security. So what did Rice tell him that made him do exactly that? Those are the conversations that scare me. The ones that nobody hears but the people who make the decisions that directly affect all our futures.
